A Bit Personal
It has always been a dream and goal of mine to open a business where I love my work, provide honest, quality work, and help assist our community. I am proud to have achieved this dream and goal! I had the opportunity to study accounting while working for an accountant/tax preparer since high school. In my opinion it was very beneficial for me to study while working as it allowed me to connect theoretical situations to real ones and vice versa! Of course, balancing online classes and running a business was very stressful but I am beyond grateful for the many opportunities that I’ve been blessed with so far.
​
Through God's grace, my determination, and loads of support (from family, friends, & my growing clients!),
I established & have been operating Accountable Bookkeeping & Tax Services LLC since late 2022. ​​
​
Many of you have known me since I was working with Cyndy Tripp, and I am beyond grateful for your trust and support! Thank you for your encouragements throughout my education and new business journey.​
​
A special thank you to my hard-working parents, Gonzalo & Ojilvia Barrera, who immigrated to the United States from Apipilulco, GRO, MX in search of a better life and bigger opportunities. Also, to the best mentor I could ever ask for, Cyndy Tripp.
I was raised here in Northwest Arkansas and don't plan to move from this beautiful state! Aside from my passion for helping others in accounting, I also have a passion for nature, gardening, being creative, and more importantly, studying the word of God and bettering my relationship with Him!​
​
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend and our families, watching soccer, playing chess, working on various craft projects & puzzles, learning Portuguese & Biblical Hebrew, and of course, spending time with God.​​
